I have to go along with Gene and Barry on things starting out slow this year. I live about 20 miles from these two guys, am semi-retired and have clocked in about 52 hours so far in the woods. I've seen 37 Bucks (4 over 150) and not a one would give me a shot. 88 does/antlerless (which I did take one of them so far) and 6 different Bobcats. The largest male seems to enjoy my company from a distance, I see him quite often and call him Bruno as he seems to enjoy chasing anything that gets in his way except me. Some of you guys may think thats a lot of Deer but for me that is sort of slow around here. Just had to throw in my 2 cents worth.

Hey, Tyler Carlson has invited me up to the Flathead to chase whitetails on his place. He has a pretty good spot...so I'm told. Hmmm...I might actually save my A-tag for a whitetail this year...first time I've done that in many moons!!

But, of course if a 150" whitetail was standing beside a 150" muley...I'd shoot the muley...because they are way cooler...and mostly becuase I never get shots at 150" whitetails!

Gene sent me this picture a few days ago, I think he shot it on the 9th.
